So, Briefly.co.za decided to gather some of the reactions to the axing of Afro Worldview on Twitter.

Dennis Georgiannis, who goes by the Twitter handle @dengeo, commented: "A very sad day for media plurality & freedom of speech in South Africa with the closing of #AfroWorldview. Thoughts are with all fellow media colleagues affected."

Lesedi Masuabi (@SEDLYT) added, "Woke up to no #AfroWorldview no @floletoaba like wtf. This is an insult to media freedom. Even the Thuma Mina government didn't come to the rescue. I believe Zuma would have done something, because he was the first to congratulate the channel."

Social media user @uNdlunkulu_Xoli wrote, "It's a sad day today because it continues to prove that we as black people, are not [yet] ready to support black owned businesses. May it be an eye-opener that WMC is willing to crush anything on its way, unconsciously with the help of black people. #AfroWorldView."
